Closing Doors

About the Book

Closing Doors speaks to the heart of every man, woman and child who has ever had any unresolved issues.  The question is posed: How can you move away from your past, when you keep running into it?  Dr. Washington takes a personal approach at leading readers into deliverance from their past and becomes very transparent in sharing his own stages of closing doors.  His instructions for Forgiving, Forsaking, and Far-getting past hurt guarantees that doors will not only close, but will slam shut, seal and force you to move forward.  "How do you grow beyond who you are?" You close doors and make the transition from "bitter" to "better".  Dr. Washington warns the reader to "Beware of open doors, for they release the echoes of your past and draw you back to a time and place you've once endured.  You must close the doors of the past in order to enjoy the future that God has for you, for it is a fact: Time does not close doors, we must!"
